Thirty Minutes or It's Free: Difference between revisions

== Comedy ==

* One stand-up comic had a routine about a city he visited which straddled a time zone. Right across the street was a pizza joint.

* [[Bill Hicks]]' recipe for a perfect world? Let everyone stay home, get stoned, and order pizza.

 

 

== Films -- Live-Action ==

* ''[[Spider-Man (film)|Spider-Man]] 2'': Peter Parker lost a job as a delivery boy due to arriving late having to give the food to the customer for free. His responsibilities as Spider-Man kept getting in the way. Though watching Spider-Man swinging through the skyscrapers of New York with pizza boxes was pretty badass.

* ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (film)|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'': the pizza delivery is two minutes late, so Michelangelo got the pizza at a discount. Also, the "the address" was a storm drain they christened "122 1/8", making the address a bit of a puzzle.

* The ''[[Thunderbirds]]'' movie: John, who mans space station Thunderbird 5, asks if he can have a pizza sent up to him, and adds "thirty minutes or it's free, right?"

* In ''[[The Sims]]'', it takes an hour of Sim Time (a minute of gameplay, if you don't speed things up). When the pizza guy arrives and is greeted, a text box comes up with "Dude! I made it from Sim City to your house in less than an hour!" (And then your Sim household pays 40 Simoleons for the damned pizza!)

* One of the Reaper's [[Stop Poking Me]] quotes in ''[[Starcraft II]]''.

* The videogame of ''Spider-Man 2'' uses Peter's pizza-delivery job, as seen in the film, above, as a [[Timed Mission]].

 

== Web Comics ==

* In ''Absurd Notions'', the characters call out for pizza when there's 5 feet of snow on the ground. The result:

'''Pythagoras:''' We have your free pizza waiting for you here. Come get it whenever you like. }}

* ''[[Suicide for Hire]]''

* Referenced [http://kevinandkell.com/2002/kk0910.html here] in ''[[Kevin and Kell]]''. Kell reminds Kevin (who ordered grass sod, being a rabbit) to tip the driver either way.

* In ''InSONICnia'', the [[Alternate Universe|Hyper]] [[Robot Me|Metal]] [[Goldfish Poop Gang|Triad]] egged Sonic's house, so Sonic gets revenge by ordering 1000 pizzas under their name and address.

'''Muckles:''' Your guarantee states that you will deliver in thirty minutes.<br />

You have exceeded your time limitations by approximately 7.2 minutes. The cost of those is nullified. }}

* ''[[Garfield and Friends]]''

** An episode has Garfield at war with a pizza delivery service which kept ''almost'' arriving on time, but each delivery-person fell prey to elaborate traps Garfield had set to weasel his way out of paying.

** Taken [[Up to Eleven]] when the pizza parlor's owner attempted to make the delivery himself (using a helicopter to get to his destination faster); Garfield pulled out all the stops to make his delivery late. Eventually, Garfield and the owner signed a peace treaty.

** Garfield ''did'' mention there should be a way to get free pizzas without them coming cold. In the end, Garfield wondered if there was some Chinese place that also promised to deliver in thirty minutes.
